Samantha B. Joye, Val H. Smith, and Robert W. Howarth, coordinating editors
Roger W. Bachmann, James E. Cloern, Robert E. Hecky, and David W. Schindler, issue editors

This Special Issue of Limnology and Oceanography resulted from the special session &History and Current Status of Eutrophication in Freshwater and Marine Ecosystems& held at the February 2003 Aquatic Sciences Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah. That special session benefited from the contribution of many people, including the ASLO meetings Steering Committee, Helen Schneider and her capable and extremely helpful staff in the ASLO Business Office, and the individuals who contributed oral and poster presentations. We, the organizers of this Specail Issue (Joye, Smith, and Howarth), are especially grateful to the authors who subsequently submitted papers to this issue. We are also deeply indebted both to the editors of this issue (Bachmann, Cloern, Hecky, and Schindler) and to the colleagues that reviewed these papers; the constructive comments of all these people greatly improved the papers presented here. This Special Issue would not have been possible without the help and guidance of the Editor-in-Chief, Everett Fee, and Lucille Doucette, the ASLO Journals Manager.

We thank the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for offering financial assistance to support the publication of this Special Issue. The conclusions stated in papers in this issue are those of the authors and do not reflect endorsement by NOAA or the EPA.

We respectfully dedicate this Special Issue to Gene Likens in recognition of his career-long contributions to ecosystem science.
